Then it hit me: “You read this book in two days and couldn’t wait to get back to it every time you had to put it down.” Therefore, I could give the book five stars right now and end my review, but I wanted to give prospective readers a bit of an insider look at this novel.Across the past several years I’ve had the privilege of editing much of Mr. Fottler’s writing; however, personal circumstances kept me from reading any of this novel until it was in print. I’m actually glad it worked out that way, as I got to read Bruce’s work as a reader first, rather than a reader/editor.First of all, this book was “right up my alley,” as they say, because I love post-pandemic/apocalypse/EMS novels as long as they don’t take the easy way out and slide downward into the Darwinian survival-of-the-fittest mode in which the “good guys” kill everyone around them who can’t provide supplies, nursing experience, or hulking work muscles. There was much of that in the book, mostly due to former military personnel who decided that adopting demigod status was within their purview. However, those who acted such were not considered heroes, and the novel offers up characters who balanced the dignity of humanity against the depravity very well.The book begins with a regular guy lucky enough to get one of the too-few, vital vaccines against a rampaging flu pandemic. He goes from hiding in his apartment to an appointment as supplies superintendent in a dysfunctional community that is infected with power-hungry narcissism and systemic bigotry. Through circumstances and interpersonal relationships that shape his worldview, he finally moves on to what he believes to be a better way of living in Maine. He carries with him on his dangerous trek to Maine a secret missive, and he is accompanied by a young woman whose life he has saved twice.In a nutshell, this book is about a man who could have, given his circumstances, made decisions that could have taken him down any number of roads—both depraved and redemptive. Paladin turns out to be a man who makes choices to do good rather than evil while living in a state of unbelievable chaos and danger. Doing so puts his life in danger, but he’s a man with a conscience—the type of man who not only has to look at himself in the mirror every morning, but actually cares about what he sees there.If I have anything even remotely negative to say, it is only that I wish the book had been fleshed out more and made longer. I actually felt cheated a bit as some parts of the book went along; for example, the trip to Maine was an opportunity for much more suspense. The way the book was written, as a memoir, made it difficult to do, but first person input from other characters would have been an added plus, especially at such times as when Dr. Kym discovers that 18 bodies that were supposed to be sent to the hospital morgue never arrived, or when Molly endures two long days hiding while waiting for the trip to Maine to begin and fearing that Paladin will leave her behind. Still, the book is a great read, and I figure the other first-person experiences can be written into the screenplay, right? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hooked from the first page! *by C***F on Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2015* I was curious and hooked from the first page. The story of Joseph Paladin’s odyssey through a dystopian future reads like a prophetic vision. Told from first person perspective, the narrative is clear and you will be engaged with the narrator as he works and fights for his future…and the future of America.The premise of the book seemed very realistic. A pandemic sweeps the earth. We’ve all heard the warnings, and I could imagine the future playing out very similar to Fottler’s vision.If you like movies like The Book of Eli, then you will love this novel. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book *by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2018* I enjoyed this book tremendously. It was realistic and showed the light and dark of our human nature. I hated to come to the end. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/55377314-paladins-odyssey-the-hero-everyone-thought-they-knew-paperback-october](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/55377314-paladins-odyssey-the-hero-everyone-thought-they-knew-paperback-october) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-11-10*
